.... Buddy, you do realize that meat-eating is sort of a core concept for most things on earth, right?
About 63% of species are carnivores, only 32% of species are herbivores. It's literally just a small subsect of humans that think eating meat is weird or some kind of 'narrative.'
They're usually not, in any way, considered the same species. Goofy and Max have a dog, for example.
